i really want to quit my course. i'm in my second year doing music, but i just don't enjoy it anymore.
but then i dunno if that's just the depression getting me down and thinking like this. i don't have a clue what i would do if i left. i just cant stand the pressure of music any longer, i'm meant to do about 5 hours practice a day, and i just have no motivation and no concentration. I'm just letting everyone down so should i just leave.
dunno if this should have been posted in this part of the board, or what i really expect people to say in return, but ohwell, just thought i'd post it!

dont give up, you will regret it after, and you have done the first year you may as well do the second as you would have wasted a year of your life for notheing.
I'm a 2nd year as well at stirling uni and verging on becoming a complete and utter drop-out, if its your course that's the problem man then just change it?
You want Fame...
... Well Fame costs
And right here is where you start paying!!!
That was the beginning to the TV series FAME
Anyway switch to something you do enjoy, but would help if you said what you did and did not enjoy anymore .. you must have some talent to be doing Music .. so think hard ebfore giving it up!!
:yes:
totally 100% agree.
The university that you are at have a vested (as well as i would hope, a selfless) interest in you passing your degree and passing as well as possible.
They will be able to discuss your situaton with more astutely than can be done here. They will also be able to suggest and put in place things that could help you deal with any other external pressures that are hindering your academic progress. They are there to help, so i would suggest making a list of all the factors troubling you about the course and (as Kermit rightly said) discussing them with your tutor.
Hope you can work something out
